Yield: 5 blocks
Cost: $5
Equipment
Materials
- Wood block(s)
- Craft paint white
- Mod Podge Matte
- Scrapbook paper in coordinating patterns and colors
- Alphabet stickers or cut-out shapes
Instructions
- Using scissors to cut out small squares of paper that will fit snugly on each side of the blocks.
- You can also use letter stickers or shapes if you desire to make an ‘alphabet’ block. I used two letters on each block and covered the other four sides with pretty paper.
- Paint each block with one to two coats of paint. Allow the paint to dry.
- Brush a coat of Mod Podge on one side of a block and press either a paper square or letter shape over the glue. Smooth out any bubbles and allow to dry. Repeat this step with the other blocks.
- Cover the sides of each block, working in stages as each side dries. Let dry completely before displaying.
Notes
Mod Podge is non-toxic and water based, so it is safe for children to handle and to craft with - however, children should not put these blocks in their mouths.
